### Part 1 — The Field Prays With You

- Scene 3 · LM II:11 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: דַּע, כְּשֶׁהָאָדָם מִתְפַּלֵּל בַּשָּׂדֶה, אֲזַי כָּל הָעֲשָׂבִים כֻּלָּם בָּאִין בְּתוֹךְ הַתְּפִלָּה, וּמְסַיְּעִין לוֹ, וְנוֹתְנִין לוֹ כֹּחַ בִּתְפִלָּתוֹ.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Know: when a person prays in the field, all the grasses, every one of them, come into the prayer. They help him and give him strength in his prayer.
- Scene 4 · LM II:11 §1, on Bereishis 2:5 and 24:63 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: וְזֶה בְּחִינַת שֶׁנִּקְרֵאת הַתְּפִלָּה שִׂיחָה, בְּחִינַת: שִׂיחַ הַשָּׂדֶה, שֶׁכָּל שִׂיחַ הַשָּׂדֶה נוֹתְנִין כֹּחַ וְסִיּוּעַ בִּתְפִלָּתוֹ. וְזֶה בְּחִינַת: וַיֵּצֵא יִצְחָק לָשׂוּחַ בַּשָּׂדֶה – שֶׁתְּפִלָּתוֹ הָיְתָה עִם סִיּוּעַ וְכֹחַ הַשָּׂדֶה, שֶׁכָּל עִשְׂבֵי הַשָּׂדֶה נָתְנוּ כֹּחַ וְסִיּוּעַ בִּתְפִלָּתוֹ כַּנַּ"ל, שֶׁבִּשְׁבִיל זֶה נִקְרֵאת הַתְּפִלָּה שִׂיחָה כַּנַּ"ל.
  - EN (our paraphrase): This is why prayer is called sichah, from 'the siach of the field', for all the shrubs of the field give strength and help to his prayer. And this is 'Yitzchak went out lasuach in the field': his prayer had the help and strength of the field, for all the grasses of the field gave strength and help to his prayer. That is why prayer is called sichah.
- Scene 6 · LM II:11 §1, on Devarim 11:17 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: וְעַל־כֵּן בַּקְּלָלָה נֶאֱמָר: וְהָאֲדָמָה לֹא תִתֵּן אֶת יְבוּלָהּ; כִּי כָל יְבוּל הָאָרֶץ צְרִיכִין לִתֵּן כֹּחַ וְסִיּוּעַ בְּתוֹךְ הַתְּפִלָּה, וּכְשֶׁיֵּשׁ פְּגָם וְעִכּוּב עַל זֶה, אֲזַי נֶאֱמַר: וְהָאֲדָמָה לֹא תִתֵּן אֶת יְבוּלָהּ.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Therefore in the curse it says: 'and the earth will not give its yield'. For all the yield of the earth must give strength and help within prayer, and when there is a flaw or a holding back in this, then it says: 'and the earth will not give its yield'.
- Scene 7 · LM II:11 §1 · paragraph §1.4
  - HE: כִּי אֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִתְפַּלֵּל בַּשָּׂדֶה, נוֹתְנִים גַם־כֵּן יְבוּל הָאָרֶץ סִיּוּעַ בִּתְפִלָּתוֹ, דְּהַיְנוּ כָּל מַה שֶּׁסָּמוּךְ אֶל הָאָדָם, כְּגוֹן אֲכִילָתוֹ וּשְׁתִיָּתוֹ וְכַיּוֹצֵא, רַק כְּשֶׁהוּא בַּשָּׂדֶה, שֶׁאֲזַי סָמוּךְ לָהֶם בְּיוֹתֵר, אֲזַי כָּל הָעֲשָׂבִים וְכָל יְבוּל הָאֲדָמָה נוֹתֵן כֹּחַ בִּתְפִלָּתוֹ כַּנַּ"ל.
  - EN (our paraphrase): For even when he does not pray in the field, the yield of the earth still helps his prayer: that is, everything close to a person, such as his eating and drinking and the like. Only when he is in the field, he is closest to them, and then all the grasses and all the yield of the earth give strength to his prayer.
- Scene 9 · LM II:11 §1 · paragraph §1.5, §1.6
  - HE: וְזֶה יְבוּל – רָאשֵׁי־תֵבוֹת: וַיֵּצֵא יִצְחָק לָשׂוּחַ בַּשָּׂדֶה – שֶׁכָּל יְבוּל הַשָּׂדֶה הִתְפַּלְּלוּ עִמּוֹ, כַּנַּ"ל: זֶה הָעִנְיָן מְבֹאָר הֵיטֵב בַּמַּאֲמָר "תִּקְעוּ בַחֹדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר", הַמַּתְחִיל בְּדַף א, עַיֵּן שָׁם:
  - EN (our paraphrase): And this is yevul, yield: its letters are the first letters of 'Vayeitzei Yitzchak lasuach basadeh', for all the yield of the field prayed with him, as above.
